All deliveries are sent with registered couriers* who MUST obtain a signature at time of delivery. Under some special circumstances, courier deliveries may be replaced by Australia Post.

Shipping address cannot be changed once order(s) has been shipped.

As the registered couriers are third-party courier companies, we are unable to control their delivery time. The courier is also unable to ring you prior or during delivery.

If the delivery is to your home address, it is best to ensure someone is home to receive the goods. If not, we recommend using an alternative, like your work address for delivery.
